Why all my apps showing Waiting?

[iMore Question]

I just get my new iphone 6 plus and transferred all my data from old iphone 5. Why all my apps showing 'Waiting'.

What do you mean by "transfer"? Did you set it up using your iCloud back up? iTunes back up? What?
Not sure what your issue is exactly. But this may help:

It happens on occasion. Give it time to finish installing. Sometimes, if you pause the installation and restart it, the process finishes bother times, it may be best to delete the app in waiting and then reinstall it.

Waiting means didn't work on the new phone?

No. I suspect it's a memory or streaming issue, depending on the amount of apps to be restored to the new device.

You can try delete the apps and then install them again. It may be working though.

When you first bring your icons over they download one at a time so it the rest stay in a waiting stance until they download.
